🔑 The Biggest Difference Explained
The core philosophy changed completely:
🔵 Premium gave you Robux upfront every month — you could spend them however you wanted.
🔴 Plus gives you discounts on spending — it saves Robux on things you buy, but doesn't give you any Robux automatically in the base plan.
🔴 Plus gives you discounts on spending — it saves Robux on things you buy, but doesn't give you any Robux automatically in the base plan.
💡 The 20% Loyalty Discount: Stay subscribed for 3 consecutive months and your discount doubles from 10% to 20%. Canceling and restarting resets this back to 10% — so treat Plus as a long-term commitment.
⚠️ Buying Robux tip: Always buy Robux through roblox.com — not the iOS App Store or Google Play. Web purchases give up to 25% more Robux per dollar compared to mobile purchases.

❌ Not worth it if you...
